About WEN 56380i Super Quiet 3800
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
89% found it easy to transport
The inverter-generator is easy to transport even in a small SUV due to its size.
It is easy to carry and transport. I can easily pick it up and put it in the vehicle to head to where I need to work.
85% appreciated the fuel efficiency
I read reviews that the fuel consumption would only last for 6 hours, but I ran the generator for 10 hours with the A/C on camper, nightlight, and two fridges and still had over a quarter of a tank of fuel.
At low speed, I can run for a long time thanks to the huge fuel tank.
88% appreciated the low maintenance
I suggest forgetting the maintenance requirement of changing oil at 100 hrs and instead changing it at 200 hrs after a break-in change at 25 hrs and 100 hrs. Running good quality oil, any brand, all 3 brands run 200 hrs no problem with essentially no oil consumption.
I have interacted with many generators, but this one stands out due to its design with ease of maintenance in mind.
I let the generator go without changing the oil for a long time, but it did not affect its performance.
I can maintain the inverter-generator quietly and without any difficulty or verbal cursing if it breaks down.
95% liked the quiet operation, but 5% found it loud
The noise level is a little more than I expected, but I'm still happy with it because it starts every time with just a light pull.
When standing directly next to it, I can hold a conversation without yelling because the noise level is so low.
I was hesitant to buy the generator due to the posted 65db sound level. However, it is advertised as a quiet generator, so I decided to give it a try and am glad I did.
I am disappointed with the noise level, it is higher than expected compared to a regular generator.
85% praised the power output
I have noticed that the generator performs as well as my 5.6kW unit and is half the weight.
The 3800 watt unit powers my 5th wheel AC, fridge, and water heater with ease and plenty of power. It never struggles.
82% appreciated the safety features
I have a generator with electric start, carb drain shutdown feature, digital display, total hours, hours since last oil change, fuel level, how much current it is being drawn, an RV 30 amp plug. It has safety features.
I appreciate the fuel shutoff feature that allows me to drain the fuel in the carburetor when shutting it off.
Rephrased: The fuel shutoff feature allows me to drain the fuel in the carburetor when shutting it off, which I appreciate.
